Anyone else sick of "charities" like gofundme

Damn these things make me angry. Firstly there are the straight up scammers that put the sob story out and lure in the tumblr feminazis and the like to donate to whatever crap there putting out. Then theres the people who have actual misfortune... Who the fuck cares. Why should middle class people get STUPID amounts of money for things they could obviously afford/to stupid to have insurance/stupid enough to live in country without universal healthcare. Oh yea there "struggling" sure... whatever. Even worse when youtube celebs do it aswell. They draw it RIDICULOUS amounts of money that would go way over what they need. Not to mention they essentially live off making videos. Why do spudmuffins give money to these scammers, are they so evil they need to feel good? or are they just so naive.

i'm not into kickstarter, i think its whole purpose has been perverted.
Now you need like 10,000$ to hire someone to run a kickstarter campaign for you its nuts. Also the company itself is a scam for taking a huge cut doing nothing. Don't they take like 10% or some shit?

Really? Howcome? Is that for the costs of video production and hiring web pro's to traffic the feed to your page or what? Why does it cost that much to run a kickstarted page?

to further say:
if there is like a situation where someone needs charity because they got cancer or their dog's eyes fell out of their head, its gross to give 5% to a company thats providing almost nothing for it.
situation B i see a lot is people want money to make a product. great! but you don't ask for donations to make a company or product, its called fricken investing and the capital providers should get a return on their investment.
I dunno sorry beanhead i love u but i think people who fund kickstarters are just tossing money out of a helicopter

yeah and my roommate yells at me every time i use coinstar.
I dunno man kickstarter doesn't offer any payment gateway services so you still gotta pay the 3% on that. their website is minimal. If you want i'll set a website where you can tell me what you want to buy and i'll charge you 5% to buy it for you

That's what I thought while watching it. 
Too bad they couldn't make a full film. Hopefully some studio catches on and backs them for a bigger budget.
